PREFACE. 

"  LIGHTNING  PHRASES  "  is  compiled  for  the  purpose  of  pre- 

5    senting  to  stenographers  desirous  of  increasing  their  speed  in 

>.    the  writing  of  phonography  the  shortest  possible  outlines  for 

words,  names,  and  phrases  which  are  of  daily  occurrence  in 

22    conversation  in  the  several  walks  of  life. 

The  result  of  twenty  years'  experience  in  the  various  de- 
99  partments  of  Shorthand- writing,  it  is  placed  before  the  public 
*  without  an  apology,  believing  that  in  itself  is  contained  the 
z  best  and  only  argument  for  its  existence. 

While  only  the  general  reporter  will  find  it  encumbent  to 

memorize  all  the  forms  given,  the  amanuensis,  the  law,  the 

uj    legislative,  the  medical,  and  the  theological  reporter  can  each 

select  a  vocabulary  from  its  contents  for  use  in  his  or  her 

S    own  peculiar  field.

THE  ART  OF  PHRASING. 

NOT  many  stenographers  realize  the  great  importance  and 
value  of  phrasing1,  i.e.,  the  ability  to  combine  entire  sentences 
in  symmetrical,  graceful,  and  perfectly  legible  outlines.  I  do 
not  mean  the  phrasing  of  words  that  do  not  naturally  com- 
bine, and  where  the  connection  is  not  obvious,  but  rather  the 
uniting  in  phrases  of  words  that  are  constantly  occurring 
together. 

There  are  thousands  of  expressions  in  the  English  lan- 
guage in  daily  use  in  the  various  departments  of  commercial 
and  professional  life  which,  by  the  frequency  of  their  occur- 
rence, become  known  by  the  term  "  stereotyped,"  and  the 
stenographer  who  memorizes  these  expressions,  together  with 
the  shortest  possible  phonetic  outlines  for  the  same,  will 
invariably  attain  a  higher  rate  of  speed  than  he  who,  lacking 
such  knowledge,  writes  the  full  outline  for  every  word. 

The  reporting  of  trials,  references,  and  the  taking  of  testi- 
mony is  not  the  onerous  task  that  it  is  reputed  to  be,  provided 
the  stenographer  has  thoroughly  mastered  the  various  ex- 
pressions peculiar  to  court  work.  Likewise  the  reporting  of 
sermons,  speeches,  and  even  the  medical  lecture — the  bane  of 
the  most  expert  stenographer  —  becomes  also  an  easy  task 
when  the  various  expressions,  together  with  the  briefest  pos- 
sible outlines  for  the  same,  have  been  mastered. 

Each  phrase  and  contraction  in  "Lightning  Phrases"  is 
peculiarly  different  from  the  general  outlines  of  regular  words 
and  sentences,  therefore,  being  more  readily  distinguished, 
and  by  reason  of  these  characteristics  will  be  indelibly  fixed 
in  the  minds  of  those  memorizing  them. 


VI  THE  ART  OF  PHRASING. 

I  have  found,  by  many  years'  experience  in  the  practice 
of  teaching-  stenography,  that  pupils  who,  from  a  lack  of 
manual  dexterity  and  power  of  execution,  had  never  hoped 
to  become  rapid  shorthand  writers,  capable  of  doing  verba- 
tim reporting,  have  obtained  proficiency  in  performing  such 
work  by — 

First  — Obtaining  a  complete  mastery  of  the  elementary 
principles  of  phonography. 

Second. — Securing  a  thorough  and  practical  understanding 
of  every  little  detail  of  the  system  they  write. 

Then  gradually  all  the  "fine  points"  in  contractions  and 
rapid  expedients  for  the  acquirement  of  speed  have  been  im- 
parted, and  at  the  conclusion  of  such  a  course  of  instruction 
the  deficit  of  the  hand,  that  which  they  lack  in  natural  ap- 
titude, was  counterbalanced  by  a  knowledge  of  lightning 
phrases  and  contractions,  producing  as  high  a  rate  of  speed, 
if  not  higher,  than  the  speed  attained  by  the  stenographer 
who  possesses  agility  of  hand  without  such  knowledge. 

If  the  stenographer  who  possesses  manual  dexterity  and 
power  of  execution  will  follow  the  mode  of  procedure  as  stated 
in  the  above  paragraphs,  "  First "  and  "  Second,"  and  will 
thoroughly  familiarize  and  master  "  Lightning  Phrases  "  and 
"  Contractions,"  he  will  find  himself  "  one  of  the  brightest 
stars  in  the  stenographic  firmament,"  capable  of  reporting 
with  ease  and  accuracy  the  most  rapid  speaker,  which  will 
make  him  "  one  out  of  a  thousand,"  and  enable  him  to  earn  a 
handsome  competence. 

There  are  not  one-third  enough  expert  verbatim  shorthand 
reporters,  the  stenographic  field  being  overrun  with  an  army 
of  incompetents  who,  having  never  received  proper  instruc- 
tion, although  having  been  employed  as  stenographers  for 
five,  six,  or  even  twelve  years,  cannot  follow  with  exactness 
even  a  slow  speaker. 

A  large  majority  of  them  have  stopped  studying,  thinking 
they  have  mastered  all  there  is  to  be  learned,  and  lacking  the 
knowledge  necessary  to  make  them  verbatim  reporters,  the

remuneration  they  receive  ranges  anywhere  from  five  to  fifteen 
dollars  per  week,  while  experts  receive  ten  to  fifty  dollars  per 
day. 

There  is  no  royal  road  to  success  in  stenography  save  the 
highway  of  work,  and  to  those  desirous  of  being  more  than 
mediocre  shorthand  writers,  the  advice  contained  in  the  pre- 
ceding paragraphs  should  be  heeded,  to  be  followed  by  prac- 
tice, PRACTICE,  PRACTICE. 


EXPLANATION   OF  POSITION. 

IN  the  following-  pages  of  "  Lightning  Phrases  "  it  Avill  be 
seen  that  a  central  line,  by  which  position  is  generally  deter- 
mined, is  not  used  except  in  a  few  instances,  the  characters 
being  written  on,  above,  or  below  an  imaginary  second-posi- 
tion line.  The  student  will  readily  perceive  whether  the 
phonographic  character  is  intended  to  be  written  in  the  first, 
second,  or  third  position ;  but  should  a  doubt  arise  as  to  the 
proper  position  of  a  phrase,  the  rule  to  be  followed  is,  that 
the  first  word  in  a  phrase  is  written  in  the  position  which 
it  properly  occupies  when  standing  alone,  and  the  following 
outlines  of  the  phrase  accommodate  themselves  to  the  position 
of  the  first.

THE  finest  points  in  phonography  and  the  most  valuable  means  of

"THE  HOLY  SPIRIT." 

BY  REV.  A.  T.  PIERSON. 
Reported  by  the  N.  Y.  S.  R  Corps. 

MY  BELOVED  FRIENDS  :  I  have  come  to  speak  to  you  this  afternoon  about 
the  neglected  person  of  the  Blessed  Trinity — the  one  great  person  about  whom 
less  is  practically  knowu  and  really  understood  than  either  of  the  other  per- 
sons of  the  God-head. 

One  of  the  ministers  of  the  Gospel  in  the  city  of  Brooklyn,  who  at  the  time 
stood  among  the  foremost  of  American  pulpit  orators,  gave  this  definition  : 
"The  Holy  Spirit  is  a  thin  and  shadowy  effluence  proceeding  from  the 
Father  and  the  Son,"  i.e.,  as  the  breath  exhales  from  a  man's  body  ;  that  was  his 
conception  of  the  Holy  Spirit.  That  is  the  conception  of  the  Holy  Spirit  in 
the  minds  of  a  large  proportion  of  church  members  ;  an  influence  or  power,  a 
manifestation  of  spiritual  force,  having  no  more  claim  to  personality  or  Deity 
than  the  light  has,  and  no  more  proper  claim  to  personality  or  Deity  than  the 
principle  of  life  ;  an  emanation  from  God,  but  not  a  personal  emanation.  If 
that  be  a  proper  definition  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  it  would  be  appropriate  to  in- 
troduce such  phraseology  in  the  Apostolic  benediction  and  the  formula  of  bap- 
tism. In  the  New  Testament  the  Holy  Spirit  is  spoken  of  in  precisely  the 
same  terms  of  personality  and  Deity  which  are  used  with  reference  to  the 
Father  and  the  Son. 

The  Acts  of  the  Apostles  deserves  to  be  called  the  Acts  of  the  Holy  Ghost, 
for  they  represent  in  practical  operation  all  the  functions  attributed  to 
the  Spirit  of  God.  The  14th  and  15th  and  16th  chapters  of  John  constitute 
the  great  revelation  of  the  Holy  Spirit ;  and  in  the  Acts,  Peter,  the  head  of 
the  Apostolic  College  and  primitive  Christian  Church,  when  Ananias  appeared 
before  him  with  a  lie  upon  his  lips,  said  :  "  Why  hath  Satan  filled  thy  heart  to 
lie  to  the  Holy  Ghost  ?  "  And  to  Sapphira,  his  wife  :  "  How  is  it  that  ye  have 
agreed  together  to  tempt  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  ?  Thou  hast  not  lied  unto 
men,  but  unto  God."  You  cannot  lie  to  a  thin  and  shadowy  effluence,  or 
agree  to  tempt  a  shadowy  effluence.  The  Holy  Spirit  was  conceived  by  Peter 
as  a  divine  person,  presiding  over  that  assembly. 

I  suppose  I  speak  to  an  intelligent  congregation,  who  believe  the  Scriptures 
of  the  New  Testament  to  be  the  Word  of  God,  and  therefore  accept  those 
views  of  personality  and  Deity  which  in  those  Scriptures  are  unquestionably 
attributed  and  associated  with  the  person  and  Spirit  of  God. 

Now,  what  is  the  nature  of  the  person  and  work  of  the  Spirit  ?     We  can

"  THE   HOLY   SPIRIT."  67 

put  it  in  a  few  sentences.  We  find  our  Lord's  teachings  are  as  follows  :  The 
Holy  Spirit  is  to  be  to  every  believing  child  of  God  just  what  Christ  would 
have  been  if  He  had  tarried  in  the  flesh  and  was  no  longer  subject  to  those 
limitations  to  which  He  submitted,  while  in  a  human  form,  upon  the  earth. 

When  Christ  was  upon  the  earth  He  could  be  in  but  one  place  at  one  time, 
because  He  partook  of  the  necessary  restrictions  and  limitations  of  our  hu- 
manity. 

When  He  was  in  Jerusalem  He  was  not  in  Capernaum,  and  therefore  His 
immediate  personal  association  with  the  disciples  was  necessarily  restricted 
and  confined.  He  said,  "  Nevertheless,  I  tell  you  the  truth  ;  it  is  expedient 
for  you  that  I  go  away  ;  for  if  I  go  not  away,  the  Comforter  will  not  come 
unto  you  ;  but  if  1  depart,  I  will  send  Him  unto  you." 

The  Holy  Spirit  was  the  resurrection  gift  of  Jesus  Christ,  and  the  coming 
of  the  Spirit  of  God  was  the  evidence  and  proof  that  Jesus  Christ  had  ap- 
peared in  the  presence  of  God  for  us  as  an  accepted  sacrifice. 

The  word  Comforter  is  a  very  imperfect  translation  of  the  Greek  word 
"  Paraclete,"  which  implies  that  He  takes  the  place  of  Christ.  The  original 
Greek  word  is  untranslatable,  and  I  regret  it  was  not  retained  in  our  English 
version.  The  word  is  from  two  Greek  words  and  resembles  the  Latin  word 
"  advocate,"  both  meaning  one  called  to  another's  aid.  If,  for  instance,  you 
have  a  case  in  court  and  cannot  yourself  attend,  you  summon  to  your  aid  an 
"  advocate,"  who  prosecutes  your  case  before  the  judge  and  jury. 

Now,  Christ  was  about  to  leave  this  world  ;  He  called  to  His  aid  and  to  our 
aid  the  Holy  Spirit,  and  therefore  He  is  called  the  "  Paraclete,"  which  includes 
both  the  idea  of  His  being  the  substitute  of  Christ,  and  of  His  ministry  to  saints 
in  the  name  of  Christ  and  in  the  stead  of  Christ. 

Whatever  Christ  could  have  done  if  He  had  remained  on  earth  as  the  per- 
sonal companion  of  every  particular  disciple,  the  Holy  Spirit  is  to  be  and  will 
be  so  far  as  faith  makes  such  a  thing  a  possibility.  For  instance,  He  is  to 
take  of  the  things  of  Christ  and  show  them  unto  us. 

He  is  to  testify  of  Christ ;  He  is  to  glorify  Christ ;  He  is  not  to  speak  from 
himself,  but  whatever  He  hears  that  He  is  to  speak,  and  He  is  to  show  us  things 
to  come.  He  is  to  bear  witness  of  Christ  and  to  Christ,  and  bear  witness  to  us 
and  to  our  work  for  Christ. 

Whatever  the  Spirit  of  God  is  to  the  disciple,  the  disciple  is,  by  the  Spirit, 
to  the  world.  We  are  not  to  speak  from  our  own  suggestion  or  origination, 
but  we  are  to  hear  the  teaching  of  the  Spirit  and  give  it  to  the  world,  and  by 
Christian  experience  translate  it  into  the  language  of  common  life.  I  am  to 
glorify  Christ  by  His  power,  and  show  men  things  to  come  so  far  as  they  are 
revealed  to  me. 

Until  the  year  1876  I  scarcely  knew  whether  there  was  a  Holy  Ghost  or  not ; 
but  during  that  year  it  pleased  God  by  a  remarkable  experience  to  bring  me 
in  contact  with  the  Spirit  of  God,  to  give  me  an  experience  of  His  power  and 


"  THE   HOLY  SPIRIT."  69 

work,  which  transformed  my  life  more  than  anything  that  previously  occurred 
in  my  history,  and  I  feel  bound  to  become  a  witness  to  all  men  of  what  I  have 
seen  and  heard. 

What  is  the  Spirit's  relation  to  the  world  ?  His  work,  as  outlined  with 
respect  to  the  world,  is  entirely  different  from  that  which  He  does  in  and  for 
disciples.  When  He  comes  He  convinces  the  world  of  the  sin  of  unbelief. 
No  man  sees  the  sin  of  not  believing  in  Jesus  until  the  Spirit  opens  his  eyes. 
The  Spirit  works  on  the  world  from  without,  and  on  the  disciple  from  within. 
The  atmosphere  is  outside  of  you,  but  when  you  breathe  it,  it  is  inside  of  you. 
Christ  said,  "  Receive  ye  the  Holy  Ghost."  The  Holy  Ghost  came  as  a  wind, 
but  in  the  disciples  He  became  breath.  You  cannot  breathe  without  air  ;  and 
breath  becomes  a  secret  of  life  and  utterance.  "  Know  ye  not  that  your  body 
is  the  temple  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  the  Spirit  of  God  dwelleth  in  you  '! "  In 
one  passage  in  the  Epistles  to  the  Corinthians  that  statement  is  made  of  the 
church  at  large;  but  in  another  case  the  statement  is  made  of  the  individual 
disciple.  The  Spirit  of  God  takes  His  actual  personal  residence  in  a  believing 
soul. 

The  Spirit  resides  and  presides  in  your  body  if  you  are  a  child  of  God. 
Nothing  makes  a  man  or  wroman  so  hallowed  as  this  conception  of  the  Divine 
Presence.  This  body  is  the  innermost  temple.  There  was  an  outer  and  an 
inner  temple  ;  but  the  word  used  to  describe  the  temple  of  the  Holy  Ghost  is 
the  word  that  implies  the  Holiest  of  all. 

I  never  found  anything  that  restrained  me  from  sin  so  effectually  as  this 
Divine  Conception  that  my  '•  body  is  the  Temple  of  the  Holy  Ghost."  How  can 
I  let  this  tongue  indulge  any  unclean  word  if  the  Holy  Spirit  is  ready  to  use 
that  tongue  for  witnessing  unto  God.  "Having  therefore  these  promises," 
says  the  Apostle  Paul,  when  speaking  of  this  mystery,  "  let  us  cleanse  our- 
selves from  all  filthiness  of  the  flesh  and  spirit." 

The  Holy  Spirit,  dwelling  in  this  mortal  body,  strengthens  it  for  service  ; 
if  you  seek  to  be  well  for  the  sake  of  being  well,  that  is  one  thing  ;  if  you 
want  to  be  strong  for  your  appointed  work  for  God,  that  is  a  different  thing. 
Why  may  not  you  ask  the  indwelling  Spirit  to  quicken  your  physical  powers 
so  that  you  may  serve  acceptably  ? 

The  Holy  Spirit  not  only  quickens  our  body,  but  He  quickens  our  mind. 

What  does  Christ  himself  say  ?  "He  shall  bring  to  your  remembrance 
what  I  have  said."  What  is  memory  ?  Suppose  you  have  to  make  an  address, 
and  are  doubtful  of  your  power  to  keep  the  train  of  thought  in  mind,  why  not 
ask  the  Spirit  of  God  to  bring  to  your  remembrance  whatever  may  pertain  to 
your  address  which  is  essential  to  the  glory  of  God  ?  I  never  preach  a  ser- 
mon without  asking  God  before  I  preach  that  whatever  train  of  thought  does 
not  conduce  to  the  Glory  of  God,  I  may  forget,  and  that  whatever  does  may 
be  brought  to  my  remembrance  ;  and  I  have  never  known  Him  to  fail  to  an- 
swer that  prayer.

"  THE   HOLY  SPIKIT."  71 

I  remember  that  my  thoughts  were  first  turned  in  this  direction  by  visits 
to  the  bedside  of  the  sick.  One  old  lady  besought  the  Spirit  of  God  to  bring 
to  her  remembrance  the  precious  words  of  Christ,  and  although  she  forgot 
members  of  her  own  family,  her  mind  was  filled  with  precious  remembrances 
of  the  Holy  Scriptures  to  the  hour  of  expiring.  She  never  forgot  the  Word 
of  God,  and  the  Spirit  did  bring  to  her  the  great  promises,  fitting  them  with  a 
strange  mystery  of  adaption  to  every  feature  in  her  spiritual  life. 

The  natural  man  cannot  receive  the  things  of  the  Spirit  of  God.  I  suppose 
that  means  that  the  intellect  of  the  uuregenerate  man  is  unable  to  receive  the 
things  of  the  Spirit;  they  are  foolishness  to  him,  because  they  are  spiritually 
discerned.  The  natural  man,  although  he  represents  one  of  the  princes  of  this 
world,  cannot,  by  any  intellectual  power  or  resources,  discern  things  of  God. 

But  if  you  become  a  child  of  God  you  are  enabled  to  apprehend  and  appre- 
ciate Divine  things. 

What  a  blessed  thing  to  have  the  Holy  Spirit  indwelling  in  us,  to  lead  us 
into  the  mysterious  chambers  of  the  Truth  of  God  as  the  Divine  Interpreter. 
Thus  the  Spirit  of  God  enables  the  intellect  to  use  the  powers  for  the  recep- 
tion of  the  truth  of  God  and  the  apprehension  of  the  Divine  mystery.  If  the 
Spirit  dwells  in  our  mortal  body,  we  shall  expect  to  feel  His  quickening  in 
our  intellectual  life,  in  our  mind  and  heart.  It  is  a  very  common  thing  to  say 
we  wish  we  could  love  God  better  ;  the  only  way  to  love  God  more  is  to  be 
brought  to  know  the  Spirit  of  God  and  see  more  clearly  the  lovable  aspect  of 
God.  Paul  says,  "  Beholding  as  in  a  glass  the  glory  of  the  Lord,  we  are 
changed  into  the  same  image."  What  is  the  idea  ?  You  cannot  contemplate 
that  which  is  noble  without  becoming  ennobled  ;  you  cannot  contemplate  vir- 
tue without  becoming  virtuous  ;  you  cannot  contemplate  truth  without  becom- 
ing truthful.  That  is  the  power  which  transforms  character.  One  cannot 
contemplate  the  character  of  God  devoutly  without  becoming  Godlike.

A  WOEKING  CEEED  FOE  A  COLLEGE  MAN. 

Extract  from  a  Speech  by  Robert  E.  Speer,  Secretary  of  the  Presbyterian  Board 
of  Foreign  Missions,  and  Reported  by  the  N.  Y.  S.  R.  Corps. 

ONE  of  the  most  prevalent  questions  in  current  religious  discussion  is  the 
question  as  to  whether  Christianity  is  primarily  a  dogma  or  a  life.  There  are 
some  on  one  side  who  think  Christianity  is  primarily  a  dogma  ;  that  it  consists 
of  the  doctrines  introduced  by  Jesus  Christ,  formulated  and  classified  a  little 
more  formally  by  the  Apostle  Paul,  crystallized  and  preserved  for  us  in  the 
creeds  of  the  Churches.  There  are  those  on  the  other  side  who  say  that  Chris- 
tianity is  primarily  a  life.  They  allege  that  it  does  not  make  much  difference 
what  you  believe,  provided  that  you  only  live  right ;  that  the  doctrine  is  a 
small  matter  in  comparison  with  the  life.  In  defence  of  this  view  they  say 
that  they  know  a  great  many  people  who  are  orthodox  in  their  belief,  who  are 
very  bad  ;  and  the  other  people  say,  in  reply,  that  they  know  a  great  many 
worse  people,  who  are  not  orthodox.  It  strikes  the  average  man  that  both 
sides  would  save  themselves  and  us  a  great  deal  of  trouble  if  they  could  but 
come  together.  For  Christianity  is  both  a  dogma  and  a  life — a  form  of  sound 
words,  and  a  transfigured  and  a  transfiguring  life.  He  who  brought  it  to  us 
said,  "  I  am  the  way,  the  truth,  and  the  life." 

Yet  I  should  not  want  to  be  understood  as  implying  that  there  is  not  a  dis- 
tinction to  be  drawn  between. Christian  thinking  and  Christian  living.  There 
is  a  distinction.  Not  every  man  is  called  upon  to  settle  all  the  problems  in 
the  universe.  A  great  many  questions  everybody  is  not  competent  to  settle. 
They  must  be  settled  by  men  who  are  competent,  and  who  feel  called  to  settle 
them.  I  do  not  feel  called  upon  to  worry  myself  over  problems  which  some 
people  are  called  to  study  and  solve.  Toward  these  problems  I  am  quite  con- 
tent to  take  the  attitude  of  "Brer  Rabbit,"  and  "  lay  low  and  say  nothing." 
But  every  man  is  called  upon  to  settle  the  question  of  questions,  of  his  daily 
living,  and  to  form  his  belief  about  it. 

Regarding  most  speculative  questions,  I  am  quite  ready  to  take  the  results 
that  others  have  reached,  accepting  those  results  which  commend  themselves 
to  me,  and  rejecting  those  which  do  not.  But  I  must  believe  something,  by 
whatever  method  I  arrive  at  it,  and  whatever  it  is.  No  one  should  go  so  far 
as  to  take  the  attitude  that  it  makes  very  little  difference  what  he  believes  ;  he 
can  get  along  without  a  creed.  That  talk  is  in  the  air  and  it  is  nonsense. 

Last  fall  I  was  riding  in  a  railroad  train  out  in  Nebraska,  and  was  accosted 
by  a  woman  who  sat  opposite  me  in  the  car  ;  she  had  been  at  a  meeting  in 
Lincoln  where  I  had  spoken  at  a  convention.  She  was  anxious  to  talk,  and  in 
our  conversation  she  said:  "I  don't  believe  in  a  creed."  I  said  in  reply, 
"  That  is  about  the  shortest  creed  I  ever  heard  of."  "  What  do  you  mean  ? " 
she  said.  I  said,  "  The  question  is  not  whether  or  not  you  have  a  creed  ;  the

A  WORKING   CREED   FOR  A  COLLEGE  MAN.  75 

question  is,  what  are  you  going  to  put  into  it  V"  If  a  man  had  spoken  to  me 
as  the  woman  did,  I  should  speak  to  him  plainly— if  I  knew  him  very  well ; 
if  I  didn't,  I  should  say  that  I  hoped  he  was  a  larger  man  than  his  creed 
would  suggest. 

Every  man  must  have  his  creed,  whether  of  affirmation  or  denial.  I  be- 
lieve in  something ;  you  may  believe  in  nothing.  We  both  believe.  Every 
one  of  us  here  this  evening,  college  men  or  not,  must  have  his  creed.  If  he  is 
a  sensible  man  he  will  accept  the  judgment  of  the  best  people  he  knows  on 
points  he  cannot  settle  for  himself.  On  other  points  he  must  make  his  own 
creed. 

A  creed  is  a  fence  ;  it  is  meant  to  keep  others  out  of  our  enclosure,  and  to 
keep  those  who  are  in  from  jumping  out.  There  is  a  very  fine  illustration 
in  the  attitude  that  the  Church  of  Christ  in  Japan  took  recently,  at  the 
time  of  the  adoption  of  its  present  confession.  It  was  proposed  that  the 
young  Church  should  adopt  one  of  the  historic  creeds  of  the  Western  Church. 
The  Church  of  Christ  replied  in  substance  :  "We  are  not  fighting  other  de- 
nominations— Baptists,  Methodists,  or  Lutherans — we  are  fighting  Shinloo- 
ism,  Heathenism,  Buddhism,  and  the  devil.  We  do  not  want  a  creed  that 
will  shut  us  out  from  other  Christians,  from  Baptists,  from  Episcopalians,  or 
Congregationalists,  etc.;  all  we  want  is  a  creed  that  will  build  a  fence  between 
us  and  those  with  whom  we  must  disagree."  The  Church  took  up  the  simple 
creed  called  the  Apostles'  Creed,  and  prefaced  it  with  two  articles  :  one  on  the 
personality  and  divinity  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  the  other  on  the  inspiration  of 
the  Holy  Scriptures,  and  they  stand  on  that  creed.  Some  would  have  been 
glad  if  they  had  put  in  more,  some  less. 

When  I  make  my  creed  I  simply  look  upon  the  world  and  see  whom  I  do 
not  agree  with.  I  see  a  man  leading  an  idle,  unserviceable  life,  who  seems  to 
care  only  for  what  he  can  get  out  of  it.  I  can  say  at  once  that  I  don't  believe 
in  that  kind  of  a  life.  Here  is  a  man  who  does  not  possess  power,  lacks  grit, 
his  hold  is  flabby,  he  has  not  vitality  in  his  blood  nor  any  iron  there,  and  I 
say  right  away,  I  thank  God  I  do  not  believe  in  that  kind  of  a  life.  Here  is 
another  man  who  moves  along  by  himself;  he  is  quite  content  to  wrap  the 
cloak  of  his  self-satisfied  own  self-sufficiency  about  him,  and  look  on  the 
sweep  of  outside  life  ;  he  does  not  touch  elbows  with  other  men.  He  has 
none  of  those  priceless  links,  without  which  any  life  is  poor,  binding  his  soul 
to  the  souls  of  his  friends.  I  do  not  believe  in  that  kind  of  a  life.  Here  is  a 
fourth  man,  who  hops  into  this  or  that  as  it  turns  up ;  takes  up  with  every 
change  ;  does  something  to-day,  something  different  to-morrow,  never  getting 
anything  truly  done  ;  his  life  is  not  in  tune  with  the  definite  purpose  of  God 
toward  which  the  whole  creation  moves.  1  do  not  believe  in  that  sort  of  a  life. 

I  do  not  believe  in  any  one  of  these  four  kinds  of  lives.  They  sicken  one. 
My  creed  is  made  up  to  exclude  them.  I  do  not  believe  in  a  positive  faith 
and  a  positive  life.  This  is  my  creed.

SPEECH  OF  HONORABLE  J.  W.  GEIGGS,  GOVEENOE 
OF  NEW  JEESEY. 

In  Acceptance  of  the  Republican  Nomination. 

GENTLEMEN  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  :  The  formal  Notification  which  you 
bring  me,  of  my  nomination  by  the  Republican  party  of  New  Jersey  as  its 
candidate  for  Governor,  arouses  in  me  a  sense  of  grave  responsibility  when  I 
consider  all  that  such  a  nomination  implies.  When  we  remember  what  New- 
Jersey  once  was — the  very  name  a  synonym  for  quick  and  impartial  justice — 
its  rulers,  of  whatever  party,  men  of  noble  character  and  patriotic  devotion, 
and  then  reflect  upon  the  length  and  breadth  and  depth  of  political  unfaithful- 
ness, disregard  of  the  public  interest,  and  downright  dishonesty,  which  have 
recently  been  revealed,  we  are  deeply  impressed  with  the  vital  importance  of 
the  effort  which  is  now  to  be  made  under  the  leadership  of  the  Republican 
party  to  rescue  wholly  our  State  from  the  control  of  that  other  party,  which, 
as  a  political  organization,  is  responsible  for  the  degradation  of  the  State 
Government.  We  undertake  this  sacred  trust,  not  in  the  interest  of  the  Re- 
publican party  for  mere  partisan  advantage,  but  because  the  people  of  New 
Jersey,  outraged,  betrayed,  and  disgraced,  have,  without  regard  to  party  dis- 
tinctions, turned  to  us  as  their  natural  ally  against  the  powerful  combination 
which,  in  the  interest  of  partisan  and  personal  spoils,  has  obtained  control  of 
the  machinery  and  organization  of  the  Democratic  party  in  New  Jersey. 

We  do  not  by  any  means  include  in  our  denunciation  of  the  public  record 
of  our  opponents  for  the  last  eleven  years  all  members  of  the  Democratic  party. 
We  are  aware  that  the  domination  of  the  rings  and  the  machines  has  not  been 
maintained  without  indignant  protest  and  vigorous  opposition  from  within  the 
party.  But  protests  have  not  been  heeded ;  opposition  has  been  put  down 
with  powerful  hand.  Every  effort  of  honest,  independent  Democrats  to  secure 
control  of  the  party  organization  has  failed  every  time  everywhere.  All  the 
machinery  of  the  party  is  in  the  same  hands  that  controlled  it  in  1889,  when 
the  Election  Boards  of  Hudson  County  were  mere  registers  of  the  wishes  of 
the  party  leaders.  The  men  who  voted  for  the  Coal  Combine  Bill  are  still  in 
good  and  regular  standing  in  their  party  ;  those  who  planned  and  those  who 
applauded  the  treasonable  conspiracy  to  steal  the  Senate  in  1894  are  the  ones 
who  are  still  in  charge  of  their  party's  organization.  There  is  no  hope  *>f 
reform  in  a  party  dominated  by  such  men.  Until  the  Democratic  party  shall 
have  cast  them  out  and  restored  the  control  of  its  affairs  and  policy  to  better 
men,  it  is  in  vain  for  it  to  ask  the  people  of  the  State  to  trust  it  with  the  con- 
trol of  any  branch  of  government.  We  therefore  recognize  that  the  people

SPEECH  OF  HON.  J.  W.  GRIGGS,  GOVERNOR  OF  NEW  JERSEY.   79 

Lave  turned  to  us — to  the  Republican  party  of  New  Jersey — and  have  offered 
us  the  baton  of  power.  As  the  chosen  leader  in  this  contest,  it  is  fitting  that 
I  should  say  to  you,  gentlemen  of  the  committee,  that  if  I  am  elected  to  this 
high  office,  I  shall  owe  my  first  and  highest  duty  to  the  people — the  whole 
people. 

I  have  always  believed  that  the  best  way  to  serve  one's  party  is  by  con- 
scientious effort  to  serve  the  State.  And  as  a  Republican  it  shall  be  my 
highest  partisan  ambition  to  win  for  my  party  the  commendation  of  the  peo- 
ple on  account  of  honest  desire  and  sincere  endeavor  for  the  welfare  of  the 
whole  State. 

If  the  nomination  you  have  tendered  shall  be  ratified  by  the  people,  it  shall 
be  my  aim  to  restore  the  reign  of  universal  honesty  among  public  officials ;  to 
put  an  end  to  jobbery  and  plundering ;  to  stop  wastefulness ;  to  check  ex- 
travagance in  the  expenditure  of  public  funds  ;  to  keep  down  appropriations ; 
to  resist  all  unjust  and  imprudent  extensions  of  corporate  power  ;  to  keep  the 
penal,  educational,  and  charitable  institutions  of  the  State  free  from  partisan 
influence  and  control,  and  to  see  that  they  are  conducted  only  upon  a  strict 
business  basis  ;  to  maintain  the  judiciary  of  the  State  non-partisan  ;  to  restrain 
the  tendency  to  multiply  legal  enactments,  and  to  simplify  and  consolidate  the 
laws  that  shall  be  passed.  It  is  of  the  utmost  importance  that  the  volume  of 
legislation  shall  be  materially  reduced,  and  that  no  act  changing  the  law  of  the 
land  shall  be  passed  unless  it  be  required  by  some  general  demand  or  public 
necessity.  All  laws  deal  with  either  the  person,  the  property,  the  liberty,  or 
the  rights  of  the  people.  None  of  these  should  be  altered,  abridged,  or  even 
modified,  except  for  reasons  of  high  public  policy.  Let  us  return  to  the  sim- 
plicity and  directness  of  our  fathers,  for  whom  very  little  legislation  and  very 
moderate  expenditure  sufficed. 

I  accept  this  nomination,  and  assume  the  trust  it  carries  with  it,  relying 
upon  the  righteousness  of  our  cause,  and  believing  that  the  people  of  New 
Jersey,  weary  of  recent  misrule,  are  with  us  in  this  contest.  The  battle  is  for 
honesty,  for  retrenchment,  for  reform.  If,  after  the  revelations  of  official  un- 
faithfulness to  which  the  Democratic  party  put  in  no  answer  but  a  plea  of  non- 
milt  contendere,  they  are  again  to  be  restored  to  power  and  control,  then 
Jersey  justice  will  have  become  a  by-word  and  a  reproach,  and  the  people  will 
deserve  whatever  of  further  misrule  and  plunder  they  may  suffer. 

Every  consideration  of  public  policy,  every  dictate  of  common  justice, 
every  notion  of  political  expediency,  every  sentiment  of  State  pride,  every 
sense  of  outraged  and  betrayed  confidence,  every  regard  for  a  good  example 
to  the  youth  of  our  State,  demands  that  we  shall  succeed  in  this  contest.

CHARACTEE. 

BY  NETTA  LUSK. 

WHAT  can  we  possess  that  is  better  than  a  true  and  noble  character  ?  With- 
out it  we  are  despised,  debased,  and  depreciated.  When  a  man's  character  is 
gone  he  is  lost  forever,  he  hates  himself  and  is  hated  by  his  fellow-men,  and 
although  he  has  his  riches  and  is  clothed  in  the  finest  of  goods,  the  finger  of 
scorn  is  constantly  being  pointed  at  him.  Better,  twice  over,  be  in  rags,  a  beg- 
gar, or  a  slave,  than  to  be  destitute  of  a  good  name.  Oh  !  truly  is  the  great  phi- 
losopher of  poetry  right  when  he  esteems  the  world's  wealth  as  ' '  trash  "  in  the 
comparison,  for  without  it  gold  has  no  value,  birth  no  distinction,  beauty  no 
charm ;  without  it  every  grace  deforms  and  all  our  accomplishments  are  as 
nothing. 

To  obtain  it  requires  unceasing  labor  and  application.  We  cannot  expect  it 
to  spring  up  in  a  single  night  like  the  gourd  that  covered  the  prophet  Jonah's 
head,  but  it  is  like  the  building  of  a  pyramid.  It  is  done  stone  by  stone, 
course  by  course,  and  the  structure  is  rarely  complete  ere  life  is  brought  to  a 
close.  It  is  said  that  which  is  most  easily  acquired,  whether  character  or 
fortune,  will  as  quickly  vanish.  It  took  several  hundred  years  to  build  up  the 
character  of  Shakespeare.  It  has  not  yet  began  to  crumble,  nor  will  it  do  so 
for  centuries,  but  is  "  as  a  star  that  will  shine  onward  and  onward  through- 
out the  depths  of  eternity."  The  diamond  requires  years  to  complete  its 
virtues  ;  other  crystals  can  be  formed  in  an  instant ;  the  diamond  is  indestruct- 
ible ;  the  latter  can  be  dissolved  in  a  breath.  Cities  that  have  been  centuries 
in  building  have  continued  to  flourish  for  centuries  longer,  while  others  that 
spring  up  in  a  single  season  are  only  to  be  abandoned  with  the  next.  And 
should  the  building  up  of  a  character,  the  "noblest  of  works,"  be  exempt 
from  such  a  just  law  ?  Think  how  many  of  our  great  men  to  secure  a  charac- 
ter have  lived  laborious  days,  "  spent  midnight  oil,"  forgotten  fatigue,  conse- 
crating long  weary  years  of  labor  trying  to  develop  in  themselves  a  name  that 
would  be  immortal.  They  lived  thinking  of  a  life  beyond  their  time,  inspired 
with  energy,  in  the  thought  of  a  great  character  in  the  ages  to  come,  through 
which  this  name  will  continue  to  be  spoken  with  joy  and  admiration.  We  are 
told  that  the  workmen  in  repairing  the  tomb  of  Shakespeare  looked  in,  and, 
seeing  the  dust  and  mouldering  bones  of  the  great  poet  lying  within,  said,  "  It 
was  a  great  treat  to  have  seen  the  ashes  of  a  man  that  had  such  a  great  charac- 
ter." Of  course  we  cannot  all  have  a  character  like  that  of  Shakespeare,  Na- 
poleon, or  Cromwell,  yet  it  should  be  our  aim  in  life  to  conduct  ourselves  so 
that  we  shall  be  missed  with  sorrow  when  we  are  gone.  We  die,  but  our 
character  still  survives  and  has  an  influence  over  man  from  generation  to  gen-

eratiou  ;  it  will  live  on  when  our  bodies  and  monuments  have  crumbled  into 
dust.  The  good  or  evil  that  we  do  lives  after  us  and  is  not  "  buried  with  our 
bones."  The  sun  sets  behind  the  Western  hills,  but  the  trail  of  light  it  leaves 
behind  guides  the  pilgrim  to  his  distant  home.  Martin  Luther's  dead  dust 
still  sleeps  at  Wittenburg,  but  the  accent  of  his  character  shall  resound  forever 
throughout  the  land.  The  king's  crown  will  in  time  moulder,  but  the  charac- 
ter of  him  that  wore  it  will  act  upon  the  ages  yet  to  come.  Rank  and  riches 
are  corruptible,  but  character  has  an  immortality  that  sword  cannot  destroy  or 
time  and  death  decay.  The  humblest  child  of  the  human  race  can  grow  to 
have  as  noble  a  character  as  one  born  of  noble  parentage.  Many  a  great  char- 
acter has  been  born  amid  rags,  and  has  had  to-  be  humiliated  by  wearing 
"  patched  clothes."  All  great  men  are  honorable  whether  they  first  saw  the 
light  in  a  hovel  or  a  palace. 

Franklin  first  started  in  life  as  a  tallow-chandler,  but  kept  going  up,  a  step 
at  a  time,  till  he  became  a  legislator  of  his  country,  and  left  his  name  to  the 
world  to  be  remembered  forever.  From  a  farm  to  the  presidential  chair  seems 
a  long  distance,  yet  Abraham  Lincoln  travelled  that  distance,  became  one  of 
the  greatest  presidents  of  the  United  States,  and  left  behind  him  a  name 
which  will  never  grow  dim.  James  A.  Garfield  never  had  the  advantages  of 
wealth,  but  he  kept  himself  in  Congress  for  seventeen  years  by  a  popularity 
based  on  character.  When  at  last  death  overtook  him  it  had  no  power  over 
him,  but  only  helped  to  immortalize  his  name,  reputation,  and  character. 

We  see  by  this  that  it  is  not  the  men  that  have  inherited  the  most  wealth 
that  have  risen  the  highest,  but  rather  those  that  have,  step  by  step,  ascended 
the  steep  and  wilful  mount  where  "  Fame's  proud  temple  shines  afar." 

We  cannot  all  leave  our  names  embalmed  in  a  nation's  tears,  but  we  can 
prove  a  blessing  to  all  within  our  sphere,  and  if  we  perform  our  duties  prop- 
erly we  shall  not  live  in  vain,  but  shall  leave  behind  a  character  which  shall 
be  like  the  pebble  which  agitates  the  surface  of  some  peaceful  lake— an  influ- 
ence for  good  which  shall  spread  in  widening  circles  throughout  the  bounds  of 
time.  Who  is  there  but  will  desire  a  name  that  is  immortal — not  one  that  is 
admired  for  a  brief  time  and  then  forgotten,  but  one  that  (even  after  we  are 
gone)  will  survive  and  live  on  till  the  "  golden  sun  shall  set  forever  ?  " 

To  obtain  a  character  like  this,  man  cannot  sit  and  idly  fold  his  hands  and 
wait  for  others  to  mould  his  character,  but  must  proportionate  his  labor  to  the 
elevation  he  seeks — "Whatsoever  a  man  soweth  that  also  shall  he  reap." 
Like  ships  going  against  the  current  we  must  either  go  backward  or  forward, 
and  as  our  bodies  develop  so  will  our  character  for  good  or  evil.  The  bad 
deeds  of  our  lives  succeed  one  another  as  do  the  flakes  of  snow  that  fall  to  the 
ground.  Our  character  is  formed  as  the  snow  gathers  together  ;  no  single 
flake  added  to  the  pile  will  produce  a  change,  yet  flake  by  flake  it  becomes  de- 
structible and  buries  whole  villages  with  its  irresistible  power.  So  will  our 
actions,  passions,  and  habits,  that  have  accumulated,  overthrow  the  edifice  of

CHARACTER.  85 

a  virtuous  character.  It  is  said  there  is  nothing  more  essential  in  the  mould- 
ing of  a  true  character  than  that  of  a  determined  will,  guided  by  right  motives, 
and  God  never  intended  that  strong  independent  things  should  be  reared  by 
clinging  to  others,  like  the  ivy  to  the  oak,  for  support.  To  form  an  indepen- 
dence of  character  should  be  our  one  great  aim  through  life.  For  if  we  depend 
too  much  on  the  character  of  others,  when  we  are  at  last  compelled  to  rely  on 
ourselves  we  can  do  nothing.  The  oak  in  the  middle  of  the  forest  which  is 
surrounded  on  every  side  by  trees  that  shelter  and  protect  it  runs  up  tall  and 
sickly ;  put  it  away  from  its  protectors  and  the  first  blast  will  overturn  it. 
Take  the  same  tree  and  put  it  into  an  open  field  where  it  is  continually  beat 
upon  by  the  tempest,  it  will  become  its  own  protector  and  grow  up  strong 
and  rugged.  So  the  man  who  is  compelled  to  rely  on  himself  forms  an  inde- 
pendence of  character  which  he  could  not  otherwise  obtain. 

Foster  says,  "  Independence  of  character  is  the  one  bright  golden  apple 
which  every  young  man  and  woman  should  strive  in  the  beginning  to  pluck 
from  the  tree  of  life."  Traits  of  character  are  brought  out  sometimes  by  some 
particular  influence.  Some  men  seem  to  think  the  louder  they  are  in  pro- 
claiming their  good  deeds,  the  greater  influence  they  will  have  on  those  about 
them.  It  is  said  that  some  of  the  mightiest  works  of  creative  power  are  silent 
and  noiseless  in  their  operations.  Silent  and  unseen  the  gentle  dew  blesses 
each  plant  and  drooping  flower.  The  sunbeam  coming  forth  on  its  mission 
silently  kissing  the  frozen  earth,  and  under  its  magic  touch  breaking  the  icy 
bonds  of  winter,  making  each  little  streamlet  sing  for  joy  as  it  hastens  on  to 
mingle  with  the  ocean,  or  the  summer  rain  greeting  the  thirsty  fields  and  un- 
der its  gentle  influence  robing  the  earth  in  a  richer  and  brighter  emerald  and 
making  the  whole  landscape  smile  with  new  beauty,  can  be  likened  to  the  in- 
fluence a  pure  and  noble  character  of  a  man  has  over  that  of  his  fellow-men. 

A  little  nobleness  shown  out  may  fall  upon  some  heart  as  the  gentle  rain, 
and  nourish  the  germs  of  virtue  into  a  new  life.  In  a  word,  take  from  man- 
kind character,  and  what  is  life  but  death,  and  beauty  but  decay. 

Man  is  a  gamester,  holding  the  dice-box  of  destiny  in  his  hand,  throwing  at 
the  risk  of  gaining  or  losing  a  character.  If  at  last  he  wins  in  this  great  game 
of  life  his  name  shall  shine  in  brightness  while  thought  shall  last  and  immor- 
tality endure.  Surely  length  of  days  are  in  her  right  hand,  while  in  her  left 
are  honor  and  riches.

Defendant  objects  to  that  question  as  to  what  happened  to  the

travelled.

LETTERS. 

JAMES  H.  JONES,  ESQ., 

President  Oregon  Iron  Ore  Co.,  Wall  Street,  New  York  City. 

DEAR  SIR  :  I  am  in  receipt  of  your  favor  of  the  14tli  inst.,  and  carefully 
note  what  you  say  in  reference  to  the  prices  paid  you  by  the  Chicago  Roll- 
ing Mills  Co.  for  iron  ore.  The  prices  quoted  for  Menominee  ores,  $14.98  to 
$16.65,  are  too  high,  and  it  would  be  as  well  for  you  to  understand  now  that  I 
will  not  be  able  to  pay  you  such  enormous  prices. 

I  know  there  is  no  use  of  our  expecting  to  make  any  money  on  iron  when 
the  raw  material  costs  so  much .  I  cannot  expect  to  compete  with  other  com- 
panies who,  owning  their  own  ships,  import  their  ore  direct  from  the  Mediter- 
ranean. 

Of  course,  you  are  in  the  business  simply  as  an  agent  acting  for  the  various 
ore  companies,  and  it  can  make  no  difference  to  you  what  the  prices  are. 

I  shall  be  obliged  to  close  my  mills  if  I  cannot  secure  better  rates,  and  for 
the  sake  of  the  700  employees  I  do  not  care  to  be  forced  to  do  this,  especially 
as  it  is  now  the  middle  of  winter. 

I  have  a  large  order  from  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  Co.,  but  it  is  almost 
impossible  for  me  to  fill  the  same. 

I  shall  be  in  New  York  the  latter  part  of  next  week,  and  shall  call  and  see 
you. 

Do  not  mention  this  matter  to  anyone,  as  my  credit  would  undoubtedly  not 
be  worth  much  if  you  did. 

Yours  truly, 


A.  PARKER  BROWN,  ESQ., 

General  Manager,  San  Francisco,  Cal. 

DEAR  SIR  :  What  is  the  matter  with  you  ?  Why  have  you  not  acted  ac 
cording  to  our  instructions  in  regard  to  the  placing  of  the  Meeker  Transporta- 
tion Co.'s  bonds  on  the  market  the  5th  of  last  month?  We  are  in  receipt  of 
your  favor  of  the  12th  inst.,  and  we  are  greatly  surprised  to  hear  that  you 
acted  in  conjunction  with  any  company  other  than  our  own.  For  the  last 
year  or  two  we  have  worked  for  your  interests,  and  desire  to  especially  call 
your  attention  to  the  indorsements  of  your  notes  for  $5,000  and  $10,000,  re- 
spectively. 

Sooner  or  later  you  will  wish  that  you  had  not  acted  according  to  their 
instructions.  By  their,  we  mean  the  other  company — competitors  of  ours, 
whom  it  is  not  necessary  to  mention.

LETTEES.  97 

In  order  to  protect  ourselves  from  the  machinations  of  persons  who,  para- 
sitic like  yourself,  after  they  have  fed  and  fattened  on  persons  who  have  bol- 
stered them  up  in  time  of  need,  turn  and,  like  the  snake,  spit  out  their  venom 
in  a  desire  to  hurt  those  who  have  befriended  them,  we  have  determined  to 
place  representatives  of  our  own  choosing  in  every  city  of  the  Union. 

We  beg  to  inform  you  that  hereafter  you  can  apply  to  the  oilier  company 
for  assistance  in  time  of  need.  We  desire  to  have  nothing  further  to  do  with 
you.  Yours  respectfully, 

MESSRS.  JOSEPH  MILLER  &  SON, 
Philadelphia,  Pa. 

GENTLEMEN  :  I  beg  to  acknowledge  the  receipt  of  your  letter  of  30th  tilt., 
enclosing  draft  No.  462,485  on  First  National  Bank  of  this  city  for  $3,000,  in 
accordance  with  my  request,  for  which  please  accept  thanks. 

I  intend  to  be  in  the  city  of  Atlanta  on  or  about  the  middle  of  February, 
and  will  arrange  matters  with  my  general  manager  in  order  that  you  may 
have  no  difficulty  in  the  collection  of  your  claim  against  the  railroad  company. 

I  note  what  you  say  with  reference  to  the  proposed  descriptive  catalogue. 
There  is  a  similar  one  published  by  the  Great  Eastern  Land  Improvement  As- 
sociation, which  is  now  being  disseminated  throughout  the  Southern  States, 
and  the  results  have  been  phenomenal.  I  hope  to  have  another  meeting  of 
the  board  of  directors  in  the  latter  part  of  October.  I  believe  they  are  doing 
everything  in  their  power  to  bring  about  a  reconciliation  of  the  members  of 
the  board,  and  I  certainly  am  doing  all  in  my  power  to  get  them  to  reconsider 
the  matter  of  withdrawing  from  the  association. 

They  have  been  led  on  step  by  step  until  they  are  utterly  in  darkness  re- 
garding the  future  prospects  for  their  stock. 

Mr.  Wilson  has  asked  me  to  meet  him  in  St.  Louis,  and  I  will  undoubtedly 
go.  We  may  be  there  for  two  or  three  weeks.  In  the  meantime  please  cor- 
respond with  me  at  that  place. 

Hoping  to  hear  from  you  soon  to  the  effect  that  all  things  are  moving 
along  smoothly,  1  am 

Yours  sincerely, 

MESSRS.  GEO.  W.  SMITH  &  Co. , 

Blank  Book  Manufacturers,  New  Orleans,  La. 

GENTLEMEN  :  We  are  in  receipt  of  your  letter  of  the  15th  inst,  enclosing 
Price  List.  Kindly  make  up  as  soon  as  possible  three  (3)  No.  42  Ledgers, 
four  (4)  No.  8  Day  Books,  two  (2)  No.  14  Journals. 

The  prices  quoted  opposite  the  numbers  in  your  Price  List,  less  25  per 
cent,  discount  allowed  to  the  trade,  will  be  the  amount  we  shall  expect  to  pay 
you.  Attend  to  this  at  your  earliest  convenience,  and  oblige, 

Yours  truly,

WILLIAM  WILSON,  ESQ., 

449  Greenwich  Street,  Chicago,  111. 

DEAR  SIR:  Your  letter  of  the  25th  ult.,  requesting  information  regarding 
Chemical  National  Bank,  is  at  hand.  We  enclose  herewith  a  monthly  state- 
ment, printed  and  sworn  to  by  the  Bank  officials,  which  will  speak  for  itself. 

We  would  advise  your  retaining  possession  of  the  stock,  as  it  is  considered 
gilt-edged.  Truly  yours, 

W.  W.  SMITH,  ESQ., 

Minneapolis,  Minn. 

DEAR  SIR  :  What  is  the  matter  with  the  order  that  we  sent  you  ten  days 
ago  for  10,000  pounds  of  tenpenny  nails?  We  are  waiting  the  receipt  before 
we  can  go  on  with  the  Mercer  Street  building. 

Please  wire  us  upon  receipt  of  this  letter  as  to  whether  or  not  you  shipped 
same.  Yours  respectfully, 

THE  RICHMOND  COTTON  Co., 

Richmond,  Va. 

GENTLEMEN  :  We  would  beg  to  notify  you  of  the  cancellation  of  Policy 
No.  23,274,  upon  the  cotton-gin  at  Roanoke. 

We  desire  to  say  in  justification  of  our  course  of  action,  that  we  have  been 
notified  by  our  special  agent  in  your  field  of  the  presence  of  a  dynamite  factory 
in  close  proximity  to  the  gin,  and  of  course  can  afford  to  run  no  risk. 

Yours  respectfully, 

MESSRS.  J.  B.  JANSON  &  Co., 

New  York  City. 

GENTLEMEN  :  We  are  in  receipt  of  your  favor  enclosing  draft  for  payment 
of  annual  premium  on  Policy  No.  24,673,  amounting  to  $326.27,  for  which 
kindly  accept  thanks. 

We  send  you  herewith  a  receipt  for  same,  and  have  notified  our  inspector 
in  your  field  to  call  and  examine  your  premises. 

Yours  truly, 

H.  IMLAY  &  Co., 

Salt  Lake  City,  Utah. 

GENTLEMEN  :  Your  letter  of  the  20th  inst.,  enclosing  bill  for  transporta- 
tion of  goods  from  Hong  Kong  to  this  city,  is  at  hand.  We  find  upon  ex- 
amination of  the  same  that  they  are  mildewed.  It  is  almost  impossible  for 
us  to  use  them,  although  we  shall  endeavor  to  use  a  portion  of  the  goods. 

Kindly  have  Mr.  Ingersoll  call  as  soon  as  possible  to  make  a  memorandum 
of  the  same,  and  oblige, 

Yours  sincerely,

MESSRS.  SMITH  &  MASON, 

Manufacturers  of  Cotton  Fabrics,  Jersey  City,  New  Jersey. 
GENTLEMEN  :  Your  favor  of  the  30th  ult.  at  hand.    We  note  what  you  say 
in  regard  to  the  purity  of  the  goods  you  manufacture,  and  while  we  do  not 
dispute  your  statement,  the  goods  received  by  us  are  of  a  poor  grade. 

We  have  shipped  them  to  you  by  P.  R.  R.,  and  desire  you  to  credit  our  ac- 
count with  the  same.  Please  wire  us  at  your  earliest  convenience  in  response. 

Yours  very  truly, 

AMERICAN  LINE  STEAMSHIP  Co., 

London,  England. 

GENTLEMEN  :  Referring  to  your  letter  of  the  10th  inst.  relative  to  the 
placing  of  an  Electric-light  Plant  on  board  the  tug  "Southampton,"  kindly 
let  me  know  by  return  mail  the  number  of  lights  desired,  etc.  ;  also  send 
me  a  plan  of  the  tug  in  question  and  I  will  then  quote  you  figures  for  the 
same. 

Hoping  to  hear  from  you  soon, 

Yours  respectfully, 

MESSRS.  CLEMENTS  &  ALEXANDER, 

Manchester,  England. 

GENTLEMEN  :  We  are  in  receipt  of  your  letter  and  would  say  that  the 
Kaffir  Stock  is  still  booming.  We  would  advise  your  holding  same  until  we 
cable  you  to  sell,  which  we  shall  do  when  we  consider  it  to  have  reached  its 
utmost  limit. 

The  Street  is  a  little  chary  of  this  Stock,  but  with  properly  inserted  read- 
ing notices,  etc.,  we  have  no  doubt  but  what  capitalists  will  buy  the  same 
when  the  reaction  from  their  suspicion  sets  in. 

Sugar  is  about  the  same,  and  will,  we  think,  remain  so  for  some  time  to 
come,  although  it  may  rise  and  fall  a  few  points. 

We  shall  watch  the  market,  and  advise  you  immediately  of  anything  that 
may  come  up. 

Sincerely  yours, 

MESSRS.  JONES  &  Co., 

Portland,  Me. 

GENTLEMEN  :  We  beg  to  notify  you  that  any  attempt  on  your  part  to  villify 
this  company  will  be  met  with  stern  measures.  We  know  that  you  con- 
cocted the  scheme  for  the  setting  on  fire  of  your  store  ;  and  have  in  our  hands 
the  depositions  of  your  employees  as  to  your  remarks  to  that  effect,  made  in 
their  presence,  and  also  documentary  evidence,  which  AVC  can  use  against  you 
should  circumstances  make  it  encumbent.

The  minimum  penalty  for  arson  in  this  State  is  one  year's  imprisonment 
in  the  Penitentiary,  and  while  we  do  not  want  to  place  you  in  a  bad  position, 
any  defamatory  remarks  will  necessitate  our  taking  legal  action. 

Respectfully  yours, 

JASPER  IRELAND,  ESQ., 

Boiler  Maker,  Pittsburgh,  Pa. 

DEAR  SIR:  Your  letter  of  the  21st  inst.  at  hand  and  contents  noted.  In 
reply  will  say  that  we  think  there  is,  in  fact  we  know  there  is,  a  good  ground 
for  suit  against  you.  The  boiler  of  locomotive  No.  982  of  the  Chicago,  St. 
Paul,  Minneapolis  and  Omaha  R.R.  Co.  must  have  been  defective  when  it 
left  your  shops,  as  such  an  accident  could  not  have  occurred  had  it  been  in  a 
perfect  condition. 

Experts  in  boiler  construction  have  been  called  to  examine  the  same,  and 
they  are  all  of  a  similar  opinion  as  ourselves.  We  desire  to  call  your  atten- 
tion to  this  matter  before  we  enter  suit,  which  will  be  done  immediately  if  we 
do  not  receive  word  from  you  advising  us  that  you  intend  to  act. 

Please  wire  us  in  response  to  this  your  intentions  in  the  matter,  and 
oblige,  Yours  truly, 

MESSRS.  JAS.  CARPENTER  &  Co., 
Montreal,  Canada. 

GENTLEMEN  :  Enclosed  please  find  invoice  and  bill  of  lading  of  goods 
shipped  on  the  Itth  inst.  via  Grand  Trunk  Ry.  The  General  Freight 
Agent  advises  us  that  hereafter  shippers  of  H.  H.  goods  must  prepay  all 
charges.  The  rate  on  H.  H.  goods,  Chicago  to  Montreal,  C.  L.  lots,  is  70  cts. 
per  hundred  Ibs.  ;  L.  C.  L. ,  90  cts.  per  hundred  Ibs. 

All  goods  must  be  properly  crated  before  shipped,  as  the  company  will  not 
be  responsible  for  loss  or  breakage  where  goods  have  been  improperly  packed. 
No  less  than  five  hundred  Ibs.  will  be  delivered  F.  O.  B.  Chicago,  unless  there 
is  an  arrangement  made  previous  to  shipment. 

In  the  meanwhile,  we  shall  look  after  your  interests  and  shall  do  all  in  our 
power  toward  securing  lower  rates.  Prospects  are  good  for  heavy  shipments 
this  season,  in  fact,  greater  than  ever  before. 

Please  acknowledge  receipt  of  B.  L.,  and  oblige, 

Yours  respectfully,

A  stenographer  who  has  accustomed  himself  to  using 
a  pen  for  his  notes  can  write  faster  than  with  a  pencil.  If 
his  pen  is  attached  to  the  Waterman  Fountain  Holder,  it 
will  not  only  enable  him  to  write  faster,  but  it  will  always 
be  ready  and  require  less  care  than  his  pencils. 


I  have  been  using  the  Waterman  Ideal  Fountain  Pen 
in  my  court  work  for  several  years,  with  the  greatest  satis- 
faction. The  ink  flows  from  it  the  instant  it  touches  the 

ui    paper,  and  it  flows  steadily  and  without  a  break  as  long  as

10   out  it  makes  a  decided  mistake.
